22Slides happened to launch on April Fools in 2011 and over the past three years has grown into something well beyond anything we expected. We sincerely thank all of you and hope you’ll continue to allow us to serve you for years to come.
As always, we’ve been hard at work to improve. Here’s what we’ve done recently!
We released a versatile new add-on which allows users to comment on your blog posts.
Ever try to center your navigation bar above your content? While possible, it wasn’t always easy, so we added a new “alignment” option to the design editor that allows you to align your logo and navigation to the top, right or left of the page.
We upgraded our servers to solid state drives, greatly improved database performance, implemented new backups systems, and increased system redundancy to make sure we’re providing the absolute best-performing and most reliable system possible.
We periodically review our image processing to see if new methods or technologies are available to improve quality. We recently found a few areas we were able to squeeze a little more quality into the images.
The responsiveness of the “Tiles” layout (the one that looks like Pinterest) has been greatly improved by loading images one at a time, rather than waiting until the entire set loads before displaying anything.
